After 10 years driving DCT/Auto, I'm terribly missing the stick. This will 99.9% be the last MT M3 ever made. This is your last chance.
I am all for manuals. But why do you think this generation will be for sure the last gen for manuals? I am genuinely curious so no aggressive questioning overtones just to be clear.

I've heard the statement being used again and again for BMWs. I am not too sure that time will come. BMW could be the last brand with a manual and there will be enough sales to satisfy them.
The manual is gone from all other models expect M3 and M2. Seven years from now it'll be very unlikely that MT continue within the M3/M4 family.

There is virtually no manual transmission from Audi and Mercedes anymore.

BMW has already suggested hybrid version for their upcoming M models.

I dare to bet the M2 will be the only MT available moving forward.
